Christ Community’s Financial Freedom ministry offers tools and resources to create a God-honoring balance between wise spending, reasonable saving and investing, and generous giving, using biblical principles.
REAL LIFE-CHANGING HELP

MAKING GOOD DECISIONS
January 21, 2026, 7:30-9 am
Every leader has had that moment when they looked back on a decision and thought, “What was I thinking?” Sometimes the cost is small. Other times, it profoundly affects our teams, our families, our churches, and our calling in ways we never intended.
On Wednesday, January 21 from 7:30-9am at the St. Charles/South Elgin Campus, we’ll have the chance to hear from David Ashcraft, the President and CEO of the Global Leadership Network (GLN) and the author of What Was I Thinking?: How to Make Better Decisions So You Can Live and Lead with Confidence. Prior to leading at GLN, David was the founding pastor for Lancaster County Bible Church (LCBC) and served there for 32 years, where attendance grew from 150 to 22,000 and 19 campuses.
During this gathering, we’ll explore:
• Why even wise, well-intentioned leaders make poor decisions
• How self-awareness and humility shape better judgment
• How to lead with confidence without arrogance
• How to learn from regret rather than be defined by it
Come and hear from David's experience and leave better equipped to lead faithfully and wisely — both inside and outside the church.
Transformational Giving Strategies
FINANCIAL COACHING
If you find yourself wondering where all your money is going, if your debt is growing instead of shrinking, or if you find yourself asking, “Does my spending accurately reflect my heart and values?” … a financial coach may be a solution you didn’t even realize you needed.
Christ Community's financial coaching ministry makes it simple to connect with a partner who can help you meet your goals. Our coaches (available for all campuses) can provide a review of your budget, expertise, and encouragement to help you gain some traction in the budgeting process.
